In Encounters with Melanie Klein: Selected Papers of Elizabeth
Spillius the author argues that her two professions, anthropology
and psychoanalysis, have much in common, and explains how her
background in anthropology led her on to a profound involvement in
psychoanalysis and her establishment as a leading figure amongst
Kleinian analysts.
Spillius describes what she regards as the important features of
Kleinian thought and discusses the research she has carried out in
Melanie Klein's unpublished archive, including Klein's views on
projective identification.
Spillius's own clinical ideas make up the last part of the book
with papers on envy, phantasy, technique, the negative therapeutic
reaction and otherness. Her writing has a clarity which is very
particular to her; she conveys complicated ideas in a most
straightforward manner, well illustrated with pertinent clinical
material.
This book represents fifty years of the developing thought and
scholarship of a talented and dedicated psychoanalyst.
